Not only are the reels which I have been collecting for two decades strange and filled with mysterious recordings but this podcast has now become a very engaged part of the weirdness which surrounds itself. Ever since I was a teenager I have quested to find a long lost Michigan tourist trap called Mystery Ridge. I collected vintage postcard, bumper stickers and flyers from Mystery Ridge and hoped one day to visit the place although I knew in my heart it was probably long gone. Mystery Ridge contained the usual tilted house and strange phenomena mostly associated with the more well known Mystery Spots which can be found across America. Mystery Ridge came into existence in the early 1960’s when America was overrun with roadside attractions but as the years rolled by cars ceased to roll into the parking lot and Mystery Ridge shut its doors in 1982. Years ago I did indeed discover the location of long abandon property which once was home to Mystery Ridge and unfortunately most of it was destroyed. Fast forward to this year. I finally decide to release a new podcast which focuses on my collection of reel to reel tapes and their weird recordings; during a bizarre series of family events I have received two reels which are marked “Mystery Ridge”.
The synchronicity of these events is just one more reason why I will continue to produce this podcast.
Now for your pleasure enjoy a short but sweet episode and perhaps a quick visit to the past and a place called Mystery Ridge.
Let my descent into madness begin.
